Deep Springs College is seeking applicants for the Herbert Reich
Chair in the Natural Sciences to begin teaching in the 2014-2015
academic year.
The position is one of three long-term faculty positions at Deep
Springs College. Long-term faculty teach self-designed courses, both
within their area of expertise and more broadly. Ideal candidates are
more than specialists, and consider their discipline in the context of a
liberal education. The teaching load is 2-2. The position is open to
candidates at both the junior and senior levels and is renewable up to
six years.
Faculty work closely with students both inside and outside the
classroom, and must be committed not only to teaching, but to nurturing
and participating in an intimate and vibrant intellectual community.
Faculty live on campus on the main circle next to the dormitory,
laboratory, and main building. The student-to-faculty ratio is about
four to one; most classes have fewer than eight students.
Deep Springs is committed whenever possible to providing
institutional support for faculty to continue exploring their own
research interests while resident in the valley. Applications are due
